U18 World Hockey Championship 2022: Filip Mešár eliminated injury. However, he stayed with the team and withdrew from Germany – SPORT.SK

today 13:15 | The Slovak national hockey team under the age of 18 plays the current domestic world championships, but not the elite category, only the 1A division. These days, the players are trying to advance among the elite to which this year clearly belongs. Also read the U18 Ice Hockey World Cup 2022: The German came to help with Slafkovsky’s number. He called … Slovakia dropped out of the highest category in 2019, and since the colonavirus canceled the second-highest championship in 2020 and 2021, we only got a chance to fight back. It is a huge pity only because the current year is extremely high quality and in the elite division would be one of the medal aspirants. After all, there could be three players in the team estimated for the 1st round of the draft – Juraj Slafkovský, Šimon Nemec and Filip Mešár. If all three took part in the 1A Division’s tournament, they would attract a huge number of fans and they would probably make a ripping calendar out of their opponents. However, the circumstances arranged that out of three, there are only two or one in the tournament, respectively, and he intervened in the competition for only one match. Complicated? We will explain. Striker Juraj Slafkovský plays the playoffs in the Finnish league for TPS Turku. He has already advanced to the semifinals with the team, in which he wins 2: 1 in matches. His arrival was logically out of the question.

He plays for the HK Nitra play-off extra league against Zvolen and after a leadership agreement with the Slovak Ice Hockey Association (SZĽH), he was released for Tuesday’s match with Norway. The Slovaks won it 5: 2. After him, he returned to Nitra, where the third match of the semifinals awaits him today. The only free one was Filip Mešár. He is with the team and originally had to play, but circumstances arranged things differently. In the quarterfinal series of the extra league, his HK Poprad played with Nemcova Nitra. Poprad was eliminated after seven duels, but Filip Mešár was injured in the sixth match. Also read the U18 Ice Hockey World Cup 2022: Adam Sýkora survived a spectacular evening. The whole city cheered for him. It’s nothing serious, but the coaches didn’t want to take unnecessary risks. “Filip will no longer intervene in the tournament. We were still waiting for a medical report, but a week – two still needs peace. It doesn’t matter at all that risking his career. We went this route. Of course, we miss it extremely much. He will be with the team until the end of the tournament. It is our mental support. It also testifies to how he cares about it and wants to be with the team, “said head coach Ivan Feneš. Filip Mešár thus works together with the team and watches the matches from the stands. Filip Mešár did not start the seventh duel of the quarterfinal series after an injury in the sixth match. He first got a cross and later a hit, after which he held his shoulder. The paradox is that he got the mentioned cross from Šimon Nemc, from whom he withdrew after his arrival at the national team. “He told me I hurt him and he’s not playing because of it now, but I don’t think so. Everything took place within the framework of fun and friendship, ”laughed Šimon Nemec when asked if he and Filip Mešár were still playing because of the playoff series. On my return to the 6th match, I dedicate time to the injured Poprad – Mešár and Brejčák. There were three hard hits for Daniel Brejčák. I don’t dare say what’s wrong with him. Filip Mešár got a cross in the ninth second from the German, later a hit from Holešinský, after which he held his shoulder. pic.twitter.com/wEUIYiP0Vt— Patrik Mitas (@PatoMitas) April 3, 2022
